I have experienced the same issue installing on Centos 6.7. I got past this error by manually installing setuptools (version 0.7). However I still do not have a working easybuild environment and I am not sure whether it is because of the workaround for setuptools of another issue.
My environment: EBROOTEASYBUILD=//share/apps/easybuild/software/EasyBuild/3.3.1 EBVERSIONEASYBUILD=3.3.1 EASYBUILD_MODULES_TOOL=EnvironmentModulesC The error: % eb --module-syntax=Tcl --show-config ERROR: Failed to parse configuration options: 'Generating Lua module files requires Lmod as modules tool; use --module-syntax to specify a different module syntax to use (Lua, Tcl)' If this is error is not associated with the setuptools workaround I will create new thread. Any advice please?
